Just get one designed for petroleum based oils.

Yeah, I seen those cheap-n-nasty kits on ebay. Provent don't make the kits, just sellers "Value Adding" (term used loosely).

I will use this one for a demo in FAIL: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Oil-Drain-Kit-for-Provent-200-/261831447404?hash=item3cf65ed36c:g:waYAAOSwYlJW3NX 8

• PVC hose, does not work well with oil, goes hard and/brittle. Not good with heat either.
• Ball valve, these have Teflon seals around the ball. Oil softens Teflon and and leaks will come of it.

Just my 2 cents.

Better tell the hydraulic world teflon is no good....
It is more than likely just a shit valve with shit tolerances

And look at the barb fitting they use on the end of the ball valve. It a Nitto male coupling for air tools. Lol. Get a decent ball valve, with actual barb fittings and some good hose with clamps and Bobs your aunty.
